Scanning the political newsfeeds today, my eye caught this quote from President Obama: "This isn't about me. This isn't about politics," he said. "This is about a health care system that is breaking America's families, breaking America's businesses, and breaking America's economy." Emphasis mine.

Isn't it interesting  how politicians use whatever crisis is at hand in order to leverage their buying power concerning their favorite legislation? The first quarter of this year, we were told that the only thing that could save our precious economy was a trillion dollar bailout of the financial markets. We were warned that our economy would implode if this didn't happen–that we simply wouldn't survive economically if duh gubment  didn't spend our money to save irresponsible lenders and corporations. This started with Bush Jr. and the tradition is now being proudly carried on by Obama. Only this time, instead of leveraging a bailout of irresponsible lenders, et al., we're talking about health care.

Is it true that our health care system has bankrupted families, businesses, etc. ? Yes. Will a government run healthcare system save our economy? No. Our legislators can't even take care of their own business, let alone the business of health care. Yet, libernazis like Obama and his party faithful continue crying for it.  Government is our savior, they say. Government is the only thing standing between us and financial ruin. Government is the only thing standing between us and the deepest Hell. Government will save your immortal soul if you throw enough tax dollars down the bottomless pit. Government is god to these people and Obama is their messiah.

If the fiscal irresponsibility weren't bad enough, there's the "euthanasia clause" carefully tucked away in this bill. Here's the short list:

Pg 425 Lines 4-12 Govt mandates Advance [Death] Care Planning Consult. Think Senior Citizens end of life.

Pg 425 Lines 17-19 Govt will instruct & consult regarding living wills, durable powers of atty. Mandatory!

Pg 425 Lines 22-25, 426 Lines 1-3 Govt provides approved list of end of life resources, guiding you in death.

Pg 427 Lines 15-24 Govt mandates program for orders for end of life. The Govt has a say in how your life ends.

Pg 429 Lines 1-9 An adv. care planning consult will be used frequently as patients health deteriorates.

Pg 429 Lines 10-12 adv. care consultation may incl an ORDER for end of life plans. AN ORDER from GOV

Pg 429 Lines 13-25 – The govt will specify which Doctors can write an end of life order.

PG 430 Lines 11-15 The Govt will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.

Only a flipping moonbat could come up with something so sinister and call it health care.
